LTL Language School || Learn Chinese in China

I studied for two months in a small group class at LTL’s Taipei mandarin school. What you get out of the small group classes depends on the effort you put into them AND the people you’re with. If you’re having problems, it’s up to you to talk about them with the language school staff, who are very receptive and will quickly do what they can to make it work. Anyways, I really liked having class in the morning and spending all afternoon exploring on my own and/or studying. There’s so much to see and Taipei’s public transportation makes it so easy! If you’re more into group activities, however, there’s plenty of opportunities that the excellent staff at LTL Taipei arrange on a weekly basis, like movie nights, craft workshops, and my personal favorite, grabbing lunch together after morning classes. This can make finding restaurants and ordering food a less daunting experience if you still struggle with menus like I do, and is a great way to meet people from different classes. As for your living situation, I strongly recommend the home stay experience if you can afford it. My speaking ability definitely improved with the constant practice, plus my host family was wonderful! My room was comfortable, the food was great, and the company was even better! I can confidently say that the staff at LTL Taipei know what they’re doing, especially because I had to leave a little earlier than expected due to medical issues. They made the process of receiving medical care in Taipei as a foreigner so much easier than going at it alone and i wish I had asked for help sooner! Over all, I really enjoyed my experience with LTL Taipei. In fact, I’m already thinking about coming back next winter!

As a 63-year-old who has been studying Mandarin for several years, I can confidently say that my time at LTL Taipei was the most rewarding chapter of my language journey. ​From my first contact through my final departure, the staff and faculty exceeded my expectations. They provided incredible support in arranging my program and navigating daily life in Taiwan. The environment is genuinely friendly and welcoming to students of all ages. ​The curriculum, which combined small group classes with 1-on-1 instruction, gave me the perfect mix of social motivation and focused practice for my speaking and listening skills. Additionally, my homestay experience was a highlight; it offered deep cultural immersion with people who truly felt like family. I highly recommend LTL Taipei to anyone seeking a complete and supportive learning experience.

I booked small group with additional individual in Beijing which means 6hrs per day. It was really busy for me, but I enjoyed the hours spending on mandarin in the morning and afternoons. Thanks for my teachers, classmates and organizers. I hope I can come next year.
